From the "I Think I Had a Dream About This Once" File — Data Dressed as Spock

So, Brent Spiner has a Ricky Gervais-style online series where he plays “himself” as a struggling actor trying to salvage his career. I dunno, I have a deep abiding affection for former TNG cast members and all (well, except Beverly) but the concept’s been done. That said, the series has managed to deliver at least one totally brilliant thing — they had Data play Spock.

Hit the jump to check it out (skip right to around 2:30 for the good stuff. The set-up is kind of dull)…

I’ll just never get used to Brent Spiner without yellow glitter paint on his face.

Wow. I’ll never be able to get those precious minutes back. Is the girl in the “monster” suit always in that show? Uhg. I haven’t seen someone that hammy since I accidentally watched an episode of That’s So Raven while looped on cough syrup.

Oh, for the record, Gates McFadden is one of the nicest con-circuit celebs I’ve ever chatted with.
